Take out an old envelope and compute on it the odds of this happening.
Say we have 10,000 kernel hackers, each producing one new file every minute, for 100 hours a week. And we've cloned a small army of Andrew Morton's to integrate the resulting tsunamai of patches. And Linus is well cared for in the state funny farm.
What is the probability that this check will fire even once, between now and 10 billion years from now, when the Sun has become a red giant destroying all life on planet Earth?
